Neil Young intends to keep on rockin’ in the free world — Ukraine included.

Via his website, the legendary rocker has announced plans to play free a free concert in the war-torn country in the near future. Specific details — including a date and location — are forthcoming.

While the Trump administration has taken a harsher stance on Ukraine, falsely accusing the country of provoking Russia’s 2022 invasion, Young understands where the true blame lies. He previously described Russia’s invasion as “the crazy war of an old dying guy who wants to relive his life and make things better for himself because of mistakes he thinks were made 50 years ago . . . That’s a screwed-up mind. [Vladimir] Putin is receding into himself as he dies. He’s not leading. He’s only protecting Putin the Great.”

As for Trump, in an a recent blog post titled “Leader of the Free World No More,” Young wrote that, “Under 47’s leadership, the US has lost its standing. Loyalists will never be stronger than Patriots, and Patriots are in the majority here in the USA. Our Patriots will take to the streets to peacefully demonstrate. There will be a moment of truth in our country and we will show the world who we really are. The USA will again be the leader of the Free World.”

22. My niece and Neil's daughter have been best friends since they were college roommates. I've never met him or

his wife at the time (Pegi) but my mother did several times and adorned both of them. My sister had told my mother not to speak to him, unless he spoke to her, when they all went to dinner graduation weekend. Of course, my mother didn’t listen to her. She kept in touch with Pegi, until she died.

I was not happy when he left his wife Pegi, for Darrell, especially as she was fighting cancer and died soon after.

His two boys have serious mental/physical issues which is why he started The Bridge School in SF. He blames his drug use on their issues.
